Why I Forked Citygrid

To support their version 2 api. http://docs.citygridmedia.com/display/citygridv2/CityGrid+APIs

You can not run version 1 and 2 gems at the same time. Why? Well their documentation says their V1 API will be depreciated at some point in time.

Citygrid

This is a Ruby wrapper for the CityGrid API.

Installation

As a gem:

sudo gem install citygrid

As a plugin (in your Rails directory:

script/plugin install git://github.com/phuphighter/citygrid.git

Get a Citygrid API key

Usage

Instantiate a client

>> citygrid = Citygrid::Client.new(:api_key => 'your_api_key')

or configure once

>> Citygrid.configure do |config|
>>   config.api_key = 'your_api_key'
>> end
>> citygrid = Citygrid::Client.new

Examples

>> spot = citygrid.search_locations(:what => "roots coffee", :where => "76180", :rpp => 1)
>> spot.results.location.name
=> "Roots Coffeehouse"

>> profile = citygrid.profile(:listing_id => '613027480', :client_ip => 'any_client_ip')
>> profile.locations.location.categories
=> <#Hashie::Mash category=<#Hashie::Mash name="Coffeehouses" nameid="1726" parent="Restaurants" parentid="1722">>

You can search for locations and events, get reviews, and get business profiles.
